What Is Bowen Therapy?
Bowen Therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that uses subtle rolling movements over muscles, tendons, and connective tissues. These movements stimulate the body’s nervous system, encouraging a natural healing response. The treatment is very soft and non-invasive, making it suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Unlike deep tissue massage or chiropractic adjustments, Bowen Therapy works by prompting your body to rebalance itself, rather than applying force or pressure to the problem areas.
What Can Bowen Therapy Help With?
Bowen Therapy is often used to support recovery from a wide range of conditions and complaints. It can be particularly helpful for:
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Sciatica and nerve pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Postural imbalances
- Stress and anxiety
- Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
- Reduced mobility or flexibility
Many people experience deep relaxation during treatment, as well as relief from pain and tension in the days following their session.
What to Expect During a Bowen Therapy Session
Bowen Therapy sessions are typically calm and quiet. Your therapist (Simon) performs gentle rolling movements over specific areas of your body, then pauses to allow time for your nervous system to respond.
It’s these pauses that are key to Bowen Therapy’s effectiveness, giving your body space to process and integrate the changes happening during treatment.
